fascinated by Satanic figures, and the dark gothic culture. Even though I was an avid Christian up till I was roughly thirteen, I continuously found my self drawn towards the macabre and the mysterious. I grew up watching all of the old Hammer House horror flicks and I adored the Puppet Master and Subspecies movies. To this day I own most of those movies (on VHS, nonetheless) and I still love them. Now days I love the strange, the morbid, the fantastic and even the

delusional writings of famous and celebrated authors like H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, R.A. Salvatore, as well as others like them.

Much of the media and literature I find my self immersed in I have over time realized has distinctly Satanic characters or a distinct Satanic feel to it. But what is the concept of Satanism in reality? Naturally we all know that no big red guy with horns and a pitch fork is going to show up at a ritual like in the movies or books. But yet Satanism is a viable thing. Even the notion of Satan as both an entity or as an archetype is completely viable when one thinks about it.

Satan in biblical lore, while taking on a physical form, was also pronounced the God of the earth and of the flesh. So in accordance with that would not Satan be both a metaphor for the human condition, yet in some weird way a living entity in each of us? But if both the metaphorical sense and the literal sense of Satan are true, then what is really the right way to be a Satanist? What is real Satanism?

Real Satanism is an occult tradition and a way of life. It honors both the beings of man, as well as that of the Devil. Satan manifests with in each of us and guides us down certain roads in life. These experiences teach us many things. A real or true Satanist will learn these life lessons very quickly and use the experience to his gain in the future instances of his life. He/she becomes one of those elite humans. A true Satanist is never created or converted, they are born to Satanism, and are the true children of the Devil him self.

But this still does not answer the question. What is Real Satanism? How does one practice real Satanism? Do they follow in the path of Anton LaVey, and place them selves upon a pedestal? Or what about perhaps, the Order of Nine Angles? Do they worship Satan like the Christians worship their god? What would you do if I said yes to all of those questions?

Satan being the god of the earth and the flesh means simply that we are literally all Satan himself, but he is also everything. He is a life force that is felt every where, and visible in all things. Did he make them? No.

Satan is a by product of all those things. We made Satan, and have given him the power to influence our lives.

In truth, there is really no wrong way to worship Satan so long as one also worships them selves. One can not adequately honor any thing out side of

themselves until; they first learn to honor and respect their own self, and their own ego. To simply honor Satan as an entity but not honor your self is an insult to the God of the flesh. To disregard him as a real driving force, and a conscious living thing, but yet only regard your own will and self is also a set up for disaster.

Satan only asks us to be mindful of him and grant him some respect, but to also hold ourselves high and keep ourselves in as good a life and mental frame as we possibly can. When a Real Satanist says “Hail Satan” He should be both saluting him self as well as the

entity. One could and some in fact do throw in another saying “Hail thy self.” By saying both one can

adequately separate, but yet acknowledge both the physical person they are as well as the ethereal being known as Satan.

Satan has many different names. Even in the Christian sense, he is referred to by many names and is even called “Legion”, because he is often considered both a single entity but also in the same instant,

multiple different entities. There is no denying the fact that hell has many resident demons and fallen angels. Even here on earth, if Satan is an effective part of each

individual person, he is definitively a Legion of beings who are both physical and real but yet also one in spirit.

Does this mean that only those who call

themselves a Satanist, hold in them some piece of the devil? No, of course not. But not all people who hold Satanic traits in the same instance are real Satanists ether. For one thing, Satanism is first and foremost an occult tradition. It is a religion as well as a way of life. Satanism has its own imagery and symbolism and redirects. There have been and still are those groups of people that while they do have many wonderful Satanic traits, and even at times call themselves “Satanists”, are in truth not Real Satanists. In our modern times one must be careful on who to trust. For some, the use of the term “Satanist” is simply a means to frighten others or gain followers.

These people use labels to try to differentiate them selves from the rest of Satanism. Terms like Laveyan, Traditional, Modern, and Progressive, has popped in recent years. Some terms like Laveyan or Luciferian do in fact describe a specific path of Satanic worship, though not many out their today who claim this path really know what Anton LaVeys original church was like. Most now look at it as a form of

glorified Atheism. When in truth LaVey and his original followers did in fact believe in an outside magical force. LaVey just simply called it Satan, and devised his

church with a bit of tongue in cheek humor. This is good for any religion to have a sense of humor to it.

The other titles like modern or progressive is simply stating the obvious. We all live in modern times so we all in all actuality are “modern” Satanists, and all Satanic paths teach one to be “progressive” in their lives. To use these words in front of the word Satanism, is simply a sad attempt to sound different, when in truth there is no difference. And there has never been one true traditional form of Satanism in all of the history of mans long existence. It is called an occult tradition, because there really has never been one set form of Satanic worship. So hence forth there is no Traditional Satanism, and to claim such a thing is once again, simply a way to draw in followers.

Titles that are meant to differentiate different types of Satanists should be reserved for those paths that are truly different, and appeal to truly different people. Paths like Setianism, or Cthulianism, and

Luciferianism are three such paths. They are still Satanic in their very nature and can even be called a Satanic denomination. But they are so uniquely different that, that they do in fact deserve a title that sets them apart.

So what is REAL Satanism? Real Satanism is a religion that honors the self as well as the very real influence of the being called Satan through the use of magical practices and rituals. Real Satanism has nothing to do with crime or criminal organizations. Real

Satanism is influencing your immediate life through the force of your own will and the use of magic, be it magic of the mundane or ritualistic. Real Satanism does not

in a Satanic world. Real Satanism is about living and loving life to the fullest and not being concerned with death or what lies beyond its gloomy veil, because not many people really know that mystery, and the ones who do, aren’t talking.
